tlon, "Listen, Lester." Miss Lewis
played the role of the female under
taker in "A Very Good Youns Man." in
which Wallace Kddinger was featured
by Arthur Hopkins earlier in the sea
son. She was the hit of the piece and
when it was abandoned stepped into
this bigger and better part in "Listen,
Lester."
Le Dltrlcfcateln Im New Role.
Leo IMtrichstein will be seen during-
the month in the first presentation
in English of Henri Lavedan's daring
play, "The Marquis de Priolk," which is
described as. a clever satire of an effete
aristocracy that existed at one period
in France. The play made a most un
usual impression at the Comedie Fran
caise, where it was first produced, and
it is expected to cause a furor on this
side of the Atlantic. The cast includes:
Brandon Tynan (who appeared in Mr.
Ditrichstein's last play, "The Matinee
Hero"), Walter Howe (appeared in
"The King"), Orlando Daly, Jane Grey,
Lily Cahill and Katherine Emmett
Arthur Hammerstein announces his
third musical comedy of the season. It
is called "The Slumber Party," will be
produced in conjunction with the Sel
wyns, and is the joint work of Otto
Hauerbach and Rudolph Frlml. These
two were responsible for all Mr. Ham
merstein's successes of other years,
"You're in Love," "The Firefly." "Ka-
tinka." and "High Jinks." His other
productions in town are: "Sometime,"
n which Ed Wynne is starred, and
Somebody's Sweetheart," which opened
at the Central Theater the Monday
before Christmas.
WOOL CASE IS DROPPED
Charges' Against Officers of Swedish
Army Canceled.
LOXDOX. Charges brought by the
British government that the former
Swedish government, or Lieutenant
Colonel Wikland, of the Swedish army,
had allowed their names to be used as
consignees for wool purchased Vlth
German money nave been dropped and
several cases in the prize court inrclv-
ng $2,500,000 in wql seized by the
British navy have been settled.
Sir John Simon, apparing for the
claimants, protested against the gov
ernment's allegations. He called at
tention to statements made in the
House of Commons that Sweden was
anding raw wool to Germany to be
spun into yarn and returned lor use
of the Swedish army and declared that
here was no foundation for the charge
that the Swedish government had, been
guilty of a violation of neutrality.
The terms of setlemen-t were not
given out. Sir John Simon told the
court it will leave no soreness on either
side and will express the friendly feei
ng which has in th past history of
the two countries existed, and which
both the Swedish and the British gov
ernments desire to continue between
these two great independnt stats.

.N"
BY ELIZABETH LON'ERGAK.
EW YORK, Jan 18. (Special.)
The number of Western favorites
who are forging to the front
along Broadway is increasing from
week, to week. The newest addi
tion to the number is Isabel
Lowe, who appeared in "The Melt
ing of Molly" at the Broadhurst the
other night and scored a great personal
sucaess. Miss Lowe is known outside
of New York as a dramatic ingenue,
but New York has only seen her in mu
sical comedy, her appearance earlier in
the season at the Winter Garden being
practically her debut. She does not
pretend to be a singer, yet has played
successfully two roles that require a
number of solos.
It is rumored that the Shuberts will
present her next in a strong dramatic
part, to spring a "surprise" in New
Y'ork, but her Western friends are more
surprised at her position as musical
comedy star. "The Melting of Molly'
comes to New York after a successful
un in Chicago. Miss Lowe made Molly
a charming little lady and the play
eeems to have caught the public fancy.
Already S. R. O. signs are being dis
played at the Broadhurst and the man
agement expects a long and success
ful run. Charles Purcell. one of the
favorite tenors of musical comedy,
seen in "Maytime," "Her Soldier Boy"
and other hits, has some fine solos
and acts with his usual grace. Gloria
Goodwin dances divinely and Mrs.
Charles Craig, who created the negro
mammy role in "Come Out of the
Kitchen." has a similar part in the
story. There was no chorus, a cast of
principals playing all the roles.
Portland Favorites Seen.
"The Invisible Foe," another opening
of the same night, has at least two
Portland favorites in the cast. Frank
Andrews and J. H. Gilmour have toured
the country many times and it is pos
sible that Cooper Cliff and Daisy Viv
ian were seen on the Coast with the
Greet Players some time ago. The title
relates to the return of the spirits of
those who have passed on and the story
relates dramatically of the stealing of
some money from a prominent firm.
The cast Includes, in addition to' those
mentioned above: Flora McDonald
Robert Barrat. Percy Garmount, Marion
Rogers and Mabel Archdall. The play
is a present London success.
When A Prince There Was" was
produced at the George M. Cohan Thea
ter with Robert Hilllard in the lead
ing role, a number of the critics com
mented upon the fact that it was too bad
that Mr. Cohan could not be induced
tn nlov Vi o load 1 1 m ecl T rt ti ti . in,t
I was just suited to him. Mr. Hilliard
. seemed to feel the same wav and ureed
Mr. Cohan to take the- part. Finally
the change was effected and the result
has been most satisfactory to all con
cerned. It is a real treat to see Mr.
Cohan, as his many activities have
seemed to wean him away from the
stage. It is not often that a person
is author and star of a play produced
in a theater bearing his name. And the
delightful part is that the play was
commenced the day when the armis
tice was declared and produced within
a month afterward.
Mr. Cohan is author also of-Chaun-
cey Olcott's new play, "The Voice of
McConnell," which is one of the best
vehicles that the Irish actor has had
in many years. It opened on Christmas
day at the Manhattan Opera-House and
has been crowding it at every per
f ormance.
Little Theater Open.
"Winthrop Ames' delightful Little
Theater is open once more, and the
many admirers of the artistic little
playhouse will be glad to hear that the
new play is worthy its setting. "The
Little Journey" by Rachel Crothers has
to do with a trip by rail. This theme
was used in "Excuse Me" (later musi
cal ized by Henry W. Savage, who pro
duced the comedy, into "Toot Toot )
There is. however, no connection be
tween the two plays. The first was i
comedy pure and simple, while "The
Little Journey" is sentiment first and
then some good dashes of humor. Es-
telle Winwood, who was featured ifc
"Why Marry?" is the lead and she and
Cyril Keightley have the love inter
est, and play their roles very well
Jobyns Howland, Paul Burns. William
Mortimer, Edward Leater. Gilda Varesi
have parts in the production, which i
beautifully staged and altogether worth
while.
Ada Lewis has found another con
genial role in John Cort's last produc

EUREKA, Cal. Pure milk, and but
ter from unadulterated cream, are be
ing advocated by the creamery men of
this county as among the best remedies
for brain fag. moral delinquency and
general physical deterioration. To com
bat the inroads which oleomargarine
and nut butters are making: on the
good old product form the churn of
creamery men are starting: a campaign
of education to be maintained in every
part of the state among consumers.
The creamery men Believe tnat laws
restricting; the sale of butter substi
tutes will not be effective as co-opera
tive effort whereby the consumers will
learn that the substitutes are rood
"fillers." but are declared to lack the
vital elements carried in butter. Like
wise, it is pointed out that whereas
the digestibility of the substitutes
average only from 30 to 50 per cent,
that of butter is 90 per cent.
The creamery men declare that de
linquent children, if fed well on butter.
will become amenlable to reason and
instruction. Morals are improved, they
say, where a milk and butter diet Is
used.

VERA CRUZ, MEX. More than 100
